Ok so I was wondering if anyone DOES NOT use a screen protector...I want to part with my screen protector except for beach trips and what not. Can the gorilla glass accomplish this. I know how easily quartz can scratch anything but the screen is so beautiful

I don't use a screen protector, There are a number of microscopic scratches on the surface of the screen. I can't photograph them with a camera because I don't have one, but yeah they are there. You can only see them when the screen is angled perfectly in the light. The scratches don't bother me because I honestly can't see them unless I look very hard. They are there. I treat my phone well. Have never dropped it or rubbed it against a surface that will scratch it. This wear and tear is just from the microscopic sand in my pocket.
Don't use one as well. I still haven't got any scratches on the screen so.. Only thing you have to make sure is that you really don't "accidentally" put your keys in the same pocket. Normally it should last very long without any damages
AW: Use of a screen protector?
Same thing here. I do use my device for 3 months now without a screen protector. I also do have some tiny scratches on my screen that can only be seen in the right light and angle so I honestly don't give a f**k

Zagg HD
I have a Zagg HD screen protector for mine, and you can only tell its ont here around the edges and with the screen off. When the screen is on it pretty much disappears except for the edge that shows under the earpiece. Very happy with it, as there have been gouges in the protector that could have been my screen. Interestingly enough thee gouges have disappeared over time and only last a day or two on the protector before it looks almost new again.
I never use screen protectors or cases. At that same time I'm always careful with my devices

+1 for this. Haven't used a screen protector but the gorilla glass is really holding it's own. My pocket is the only protection my phone gets. Even with my keys accidentally going into the same pocket I still haven't had any problems.
I use a Seidio Active case, but no screen protector. I tried one, but it didn't fit right due to the way the glass is beveled at the edges. I keep it in my pocket and it still looks great.
No screen protector here either, I picked up a snap-on case/holster combo on Flea-bay with a screen protector. Took that sucker off about 10 minutes after it went on. Haven't used one in general for a while even back when I had my iPhone 4, got tired of fighting loose corners and air bubbles.

I scratched 2 HOX+s pretty easily. I actually smashed the screen in an unrelated incident and will be using screen protectors from now on!

Well I have. Don't know how but I have a quarter inch hairline scratch in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. Just enough to piss me off.
My buddy made a good point, thought gorilla glass was scratch proof?

Gorilla glass is scratch "resistant" not scratch proof. Sand seems to scratch gorilla glass easily.

That's what I said. Haven't been around any sand and I'm pretty picky about what goes in my pockets. Phone is always by itself. Oh well, just ranting/venting. Lol. Anyone know of a good way to reduce a scratches visibility without a screen protector?

Just the back cover. Starts from headphone jack and goes about 3 inches dianglely. It's weird thought. It's compact at headphone jack and spreads apart to the end. Four scratches. Not sure how that happened. My screen protector is all scratched up. Def won't by these screen protectors again. Got at sprint. Don't remember the name but white package of 3. Advise don't get. Easily scratched

Well I was going to let my device be "naked" for a couple of days but now I guess I'll just order my screen protector :/
Screen protector and a few different cases on the way, until then I'm carrying this thing around like it's fine china, wrapped in a cleaning cloth whenever it's in my purse. lol
Unfortunately I just can't bring myself to use a screen protector. Never have. I did buy a case this time around. Gonna try again cause I don't like those either.

Use Zagg HD from bestbuy, it feels almost like glass to the touch.
Or try out SGP ultra clear protectors...also have the close to glass feel! You can't tell there's a screen protector, but your screen is definitely being protected! Great investment
Just got my SGP Ultra Clear Nano screen protectors in today, couldn't be happier with them.

Me either. Don't like protectors or cases. Had Gorilla glass on the S1&2 and didn't scratch them so I think I'll keep that tradition alive. Just stays by itself in the pocket. But with the gloss plastic on the S3, I opted for a Cruiserlite case.

I recently upgraded to the HOX+ from a Captivate.
My captivate never got scratches on the screen for the two years I had it and yet, already a week with the HOX+,I see surface scratches popping up all over the place.
Is this normal? I always keep my phone in an isolated pocket away from my wallet and keys but it keeps happening. I thought this had gorilla glass.

This is normal for gorilla glass 2 it just sucks scratches easily and cracks easily, look up just like glass screen protectors from dba

Does the dba screen protector cover the tapered edge as well (like the skinomi film) or does it just cover the screen?

It's scratch resistant, not scratch proof unfortunately.
Any substance harder than the glass itself will scratch it.

My apologies if this has already been asked.. is a screen guard necessary for the hox+ or is gorilla glass tolerant enough? I never touch the screen with my nails n I don't keep any other stuff in the same pocket where I keep the phone..

Some users have reported minor, tiny scratches, but I believe that was just coating over the Gorilla, could be specks of sand... I use Zagg HD on mine ...
Sent from my HTC One X+ using Tapatalk 2
The screen is pretty resilient and should hold up unless you do garden work and such, if you experience scratches of imperfections you can recoat the glass with a liquid shield.
So then the glass itself doesn't get scratched,it's only the coating above it that's susceptible to damage?
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
Yes man, I totally recommend you to put screen protector... Me thinking naively that I don't need a SP got lots of minor coating chips... It is almost invisible but when you rub your finger on the screen, you will see it.. Real scratches? None.

I bought a nice neoprene jacket for my HOX+...
Lightweight and easy to remove when I need to get to my phone...
I was having some skip issues. I had a screen protector since day 1. I was going to return the unit. Low and behold I take the pos protector off and the home and back buttons work great. No more missed touches so far.
To someone out there this might be helpful.
Meh probably not.

I'm using one too and noticed the buttons hardly respond. Before it would work perfectly.
I rather press them a few times than having to worry about a scratch on my screen though - A sacrifice I'd be willing to live with.
Hmm, now that you mention it... My capacitive buttons didn't start acting unresponsive until I placed my screen protector. Back is the biggest culprit with it sometimes ignoring any amount of presses under any amount of pressure.

I wonder what the technical issue is here because I've never had a phone bothered by a screen protector. (And it's only the capacitive buttons at that.) It's really been testing my patience today.

Or just buy a screen protector that only covers the screen, not including the capacitive butttons...
I personally need to buy a screen protector just bought my case today and thought about the screen protector but it is crazy expensive at the tmobile store... 25 dollars for a screen protector naaaaaah

I have the same problem.....
I really don't like the idea of not having a screen protector, nor not covering the bottom portion where the capacitive buttons are.
However I've been wondering...
How about if we punch holes where the capacative buttons are......
My guess is it would probably work with a high end hole punches which is extremely sharp and wont bend the protector while punching..
Any thoughts?

I haven't used a screen protector since I had my EVO... I just get a decent case, Gorilla Glass is pretty hard to scratch up. I don't like the tactile loss when you use screen protectors at all.

Tell that to my Galaxy S3 that not only scratched but also broke from a fall of less than 6 inches. My faith in Gorilla Glass has been shattered.

Gorilla Glass wasn't meant to hold an impact of a fall regardless of it being from only 6 inches. It was meant to absorb getting hairline scratches from everyday use.
I'm sure you seen YouTube videos already on this.
